I have represented Knowsley since 1986 - the constituency has gone through a number of changes over the years, but throughout that time I have always fought for local people and to protect vital public services.

My priorities are to protect and create jobs through a strong economy, education and training for all, a worldclass NHS, fair immigration policies, safe communities, a fair deal for older people and clear action to tackle climate change.

If you have contacted me about a campaign, petition or policy issue; I will post all responses on my website.
If you are asking me to sign an Early Day Motion (EDM) you can check the EDMs I have signed here.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Harold Wilson. I have published a short account of Harold as a local MP, representing the Huyton constituency for most of his Parliamentary career. It looks at the issues at that time and can be found here.
